Suggest Remedy For Psoriasis In Scalp
I have psoriasis on my scalp and body. I am able to keep the body lesions under control by using the tanning bed for short periods of time. It doesn't seem to help with the scalp. Is there something other than tar I can put on my scalp to make the tanning better? I do not want to put tar on my scalp because I am almost totally grey and I color my hair, the tar strips the color. I am 4'8 and weigh 95 pounds. I am 59.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that if you have not consulted to dermatologist then better to consult it because the psoriasis is very less likely on scalp, this could be something else, meanwhile this can be managed with "Beclomethasone cream" this would helps a lot, take care have a nice day.
